Take a look at my furthest right sidebar - you’ll see I have 162 subscribers. Or do I? I just had 20 yesterday. I must have gained 142 readers overnight!
Get real.

Please only contribute one article per edition of the carnival.

Some pretty cool things happened yesterday. First off, beer.pizza.tech set a feed subscriber record at 17 readers. I’m not pulling ProBlogger numbers, but for a small blogger such as myself, the fact that 17 people want to subscribe to what I write every day means a lot and is really cool.

Below you’ll find a message I wrote to Facebook customer service via the help section of the Facebook site. After that, you’ll find the response they gave me. I wrote my piece to them after I had learned that two of my advertising campaigns had been disabled.
